Our moderator: Erik Blix
Erik Blix is a skilled moderator, debate leader and interviewer both in entertainment and in more serious contexts. Erik’s hallmark is to be able to listen to the participants, formulate himself in the moment, follow up with illustrative questions and then summarize the knowledge in an easy-to-understand way.
In the evening we take off from space and far down into the depths of the oceans! At Universeum, you are offered a three-course dinner, drinks and entertainment in a unique environment at some of Europe’s largest aquariums.
